Robert Frank Sadowski is a retired American professional baseball player and manager. Primarily a third baseman and outfielder during his brief Major League Baseball career, he was a second baseman and shortstop coming through the minor leagues. Sadowski batted left-handed, threw right-handed, stood 6 feet tall and weighed 170 pounds during his active career. Nicknamed "Bo," Sadowski's major league career coincided somewhat with a namesake, MLB pitcher Robert Sadowski. Bo Sadowski signed with his hometown St. Louis Cardinals in 1955 and made his debut appearance for the Redbirds on September 16, 1960. On September 16, he grounded out and walked against Stu Miller of the San Francisco Giants during a 6?2 defeat at Busch Stadium. Following the 1960 campaign, he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, who recalled him from the Buffalo Bisons of the Triple-A International League for a more extended 16-game trial during 1961. But Sadowski batted only .130 in 54 at bats, and was traded again the following off-season, this time in a multiple-player transaction to the Chicago White Sox.
